The Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. Tiger I is certainly one of the most famous tanks of World War II. It was developed to equip the armored divisions of the Wehrmacht with a heavily armored and heavily armed tank to complement the more widespread Panzer III and Panzer IV medium tanks no longer capable of effectively countering opposing tanks. The main armament consisted of the famous and lethal 88 mm KwK 36 L/56 long-barreled anti-tank cannon. Installed in the turret and protected by a heavy 120 mm shield. it was capable of piercing, even at long distances, the armor of any enemy vehicle of the time. It was used in all the main operational theaters and actively participated in the German military operations in Normandy and on the Western Front. Although affected by reliability and use problems, the heavy tank, in the hands of expert crews, was always extremely feared by the Allied forces.
